I was wondering if anyone knows if i can use the pic 16f628 on the JDM pic Programmer without an adaptor. I know it says "PIC16F84 only" but the programing pins are the same so will it work?
I found the JDM programmer to be quit good in working on my computer but the trouble is using it on a faster Pentium 4 Processor because of the delay time.
Is there any other simple PIC Programmer I could use thats guaranteed to work and is free!

It's more likely to be a serial port problem (common with JDM), rather than a speed one, the speed is determined by the program not the hardware.
If it is a speed problem, caused by limitations of the software you are using, try using IC-Prog instead.
Any of the parallel port programmers would probably be OK, my personal preference is for P16PRO40 derived ones - you could either use IC-Prog, or my software WinPicProg - both of which are free.
I am currently using IC-Prog and when i try programming a pic through JDM On a Pentium 4 rather than a Pentium 1, it always turns out with a problem whilst trying to verify.
Does WinPic alow programming through the serial port?

It's most probably the serial port on the Pentium 4 that isn't able to supply high enough voltage for the JDM programmer - it's a well known problem, there are various mods (involving external power) to overcome it.

Does WinPicProg support the P16PRO Programmer beacause i was just looking at the schematics and thought i might try it.
If not what software can i use for it.
Are you sure that the P16PRO Programmer will work on any computer, even one with Win xp.

Yes, it supports it, the P16PRO40 is the main programmer I use, and the diagram is available to download on my website at http://www.winpicprog.co.uk along with the software.

I've tested it under Win XP, although I still use the more popular Win98SE myself - as to working on 'any computer', there's always an occasional one with a port too non-standard to work, but everyone I've tried has always worked fine.
Have a look at the authors site at where there are some PCB layouts. There are also a list of places where you can buy kits, these are generally very reasonably priced.
